Freiburg looks stable in the group, sitting a strong fourth place (3 wins, 2 draws). Their strength lies in their organized play and competitive motivation, especially in home matches, where they beat Basel and Utrecht.
Salzburg are having a disastrous start to the table, sitting in 29th place with 1 win and 4 losses. Their defense is fragile (10 goals conceded), and recent results, including losses, indicate a deep crisis and low team confidence.
Despite the setback against Bayern, the German club is generally reliable and well-coordinated, especially against a weak opponent this season. Salzburg, lacking tournament goals and playing an unconvincing defense, are unlikely to put up a decent fight away from home. Freiburg should take three points thanks to their better organization and home advantage.
